New  Regulation  requires  that  organisations  implementing  training,  as  well  as  programs,  should  be  verified.  New  and  very  detail  programs  have  been  approved,  requiring  development  of  new  courses  and  materials  for  training.  New  and  increased  number  of  courses  requires  in-volvement  of  additional  funds  and  human  resources.  Consequently,  implementation  of  radiation  protection  training  has  become  more  complicated  and  expensive.  Additional  problem  is  limited  size  of  professional  community.  To  overcome  and  minimize  influence  of  these  problems,  we  have  started  with  the  introduction  of  new  methods  and  training  technologies.
